I am selling my NXT4a Upright Bass in sunburst, along with my NXT Composite German Bow, which is BRAND NEW. I have never used the bow. The electric upright has some wear on it. A couple dents on the back of the neck, but my thumb never went to where they are, therefore I didn't feel them. The...

Hey all, my name is Joe Acampora, I’m currently a Berklee student, and I want to sell my Bergantino NXT212 ‘Neo X-Treme Technology’ Series 2-12″ w/Tweeter along with my NXT212 SPEAKER CABINET COVER. I'm selling this gear because I'm trying to save up for an upright bass! I keep losing out on...

Thank you!! I hope this instrument finds a good home too. I can't wait to start learning upright!

Hey all, my name is Joe Acampora, I’m currently a Berklee student, and I want to sell my Fodera Emperor 6 Custom Fretless. This is a very tough sell for me. I purchased this bass around a year ago off TalkBass, but unfortunately I need to sell it in order to buy an upright bass. This bass has...

That's the TF212V - a great cab, and when paired with the Bullhead 1K, it'll handle most applications. I've been using my TF112 for smaller club gigs, and it's more than enough rig for those situations. I haven't done so yet, but I plan to use both cabs if needed - they make a nice 3 X 12 stack!

Played a small theatre fundraiser gig Thursday night with my new Trickfish rig (minus the TF112) and my fretted and fretless Fodera girls, bound together with Cordial Cables Peak high copper cables - a winning combination!

Thank you for the compliment! And for sure, while getting "two thumbs up" from the legend who invented and defined the 6-string contrabass guitar was a HUGE uplift and something I will never forget, I just feel so fortunate that I've been able to hear his anecdotes and words of wisdom and share...

Thanks man! That's what hanging with AJ does for your playing! Regarding that second video I appended to my original post, I had forgotten that I was there that night in August when Anthony played again. I didn't sit in that night. I almost did, but AJ was having such a great time and...

TRUTH!

I had the honor and privilege of meeting and seeing Anthony play last year at Tambour Bistro and Wine Bar in Brooklyn, NY. I met Fodera co-owners Vinnie Fodera and Joey Lauricella for the first time back in July 2022 for a setup on my Fodera 6 string, and Joey invited me to sit in for him on a...

Thank You!!!

MINE!!! SO PSYCHED!!! It was great meeting you, Mik - and those other two special members of your Fodera family!

So 10+ years after this thread was started, a new generation of bass player (me!) stumbled upon Chris Rea's tune "Fool (If You Think It's Over)" this morning as it was playing on the radio, and I just love the bass line. Looking at the bass credits for the album it came off of, it seems that 4...

I joined the "Club" back on May 29th, but didn't want to post anything until I had a few gigs with the new gear under my belt...and I can tell you this: it's everything I thought it was when I got it, and more. So far my preference has been to play with the settings flat, but this setup has so...
